If you’ve ever thought that the story of how the blessed virgin Mary met and wed the Nazarene carpenter Joseph before the two of them traveled to Bethlehem in time for her to give birth to the Son of God would be a really great subject for a teen romcom… wow. I am concerned about […]
I would say that Thanksgiving is the best version of itself I can imagine, but even that’s selling it short: I couldn’t even imagine it turning out as well as it did.
